Coco Guaff is a 19-year-old tennis player from Atlanta, Georgia. In the final match of the Women's 2023 US Open, she faced Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff was down after losing the first set 2-6 but pulled through the next two sets to win the match and take home her first Grand Slam Championship. She is the youngest female player to win the US Open since 1999. Despite people’s lack of faith in her ability to win this title and become the best female tennis player in the world, Gauff powered through and used the doubters as fuel to push herself to be the best she could be.
